Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of antigestagens for the production of medicaments for inhibiting uterine prostaglandin synthesis, in particular for the therapy and prophylaxis of dysmenorrheaic complaints.
  • Effective antigestagens are known, for example, from European patent 0057115 (Roussel-Uclaf).
  • RU 486 The 11 ⁇ - [4- (N, N-dimethylamino) phenyl] -17 ⁇ -hydroxy-17 ⁇ -propynyl-4,9 (10) -estradien-3-one, designated RU 486, was examined in particular detail. Information on the mechanism of action of RU 486 can be found in "Human Reproduction", Vol. 1 (1986), 107-110. Thereafter, the antigestagen blocks the progesterone activity and increases the formation of prostaglandin, the prostaglandin stimulating uterine contractility. Clinical examinations for the termination of pregnancy have already been carried out with RU 486.
  • Prostaglandins play a key role in normal and pathological menstruation: They are seen in relation to changes in the blood supply to the uterine lining and contractions of the uterus during labor during menstruation. Increased PG release and increased uterine contractions, which can be felt to be extremely painful, make up the essence of dysmenorrhea.
  • An inhibition of the uterine PG by antigestagens eliminates or at least significantly reduces the symptoms associated with dysmenorrhea. Since uterine PG synthesis takes place very substantially in the endometrium, it can also be expected that disorders and complaints resulting from endometriosis will also be favorably influenced by antigestagens.
  • the luteolysis of uterine PG at the end of the approximately 16-day cycle was blocked by antigestagens.
  • the result was a progression of the serum progesterone values that otherwise only exists in pregnancy.
  • the corresponding effects of the inhibited uterine PG production are not to be expected in humans after antigestagens, since in women the lifespan of the corpus luteum is not controlled by the uterus.
  • an inhibition of the uterine PG release can dampen the uterine motor function in the presence of dysmenorrhea.
  • the advantage of this therapeutic option is that a desirable level of inhibition is achieved without affecting the PG function in other organs.
  • a high degree of organ selectivity is achieved through the therapy of dysmenorrhea with antigestagens.
  • Antigestagens can be used when dysmenorrhoeic complaints begin, such as "pulling in the lower abdomen". It is sometimes useful to start therapy earlier in the luteal phase to achieve a sufficient level of inhibition.
  • the anti-gestagen treatment is generally carried out over 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 4 days, starting at the time of the menstruation.
  • the antigestagens are used in amounts of generally 2 to 50 mg, preferably 5 to 20 mg, 11 ⁇ - [(4-N, N-dimethylamino) phenyl] -17 ⁇ -hydroxy-17 ⁇ - (3-hydroxypropyl) -13 ⁇ -methyl-4.9 (10) -gonadien-3-one per day or a biologically equivalent amount of another antigagen.
  • the antigestagens can be applied locally, topically, enterally or parenterally, for example.
  • tablets, pills, capsules, pills, suspensions or solutions are particularly suitable, which can be prepared in the usual way with the additives and carrier substances customary in galenics.
  • vaginal suppositories or transdermal systems such as skin plasters are suitable.
  • One dosage unit contains about 2 to 50 mg 11 ⁇ - [(4-N, N-dimethylamino) phenyl] -17 ⁇ -hydroxy-17 ⁇ - (3-hydroxypropyl) -13 ⁇ -methyl-4.9 (10) -gonadien-3 -on or a biologically equivalent amount of another antigenic agent.
  • Non-gravid guinea pigs received 10 mg of 11 ⁇ - [(4-N, N-dimethylamino) phenyl] -17 ⁇ -hydroxy-17 ⁇ - (3-hydroxypropyl) -13 ⁇ - daily from the 8th to the 16th day of the approximately 16-day cycle. methyl-4,9 (10) -gonadien-3-one.
  • test substance was dissolved in 1 ml of benzyl benzoate / castor oil (1: 2) and injected subcutaneously.
  • the progesterone content in the serum was determined daily.
  • the increase in progesterone in the blood of animals treated with the anti-gestagen reflects an inhibition of the uterine PG release.
